A different world that started with elves

"Aren't you back yet?"

I looked up at the service desk and saw Aoi bowing to thank Ms. Joy, then trotting towards me.It looks like something has been gained.

"How's it going"

"Although Miss Joy has not heard about Team Rocket, she told me some other things."

"others"

"Uh-huh."

After looking around as if nothing had happened, Kui then whispered:

"Divination, it's divination, it's very powerful, isn't it?"

"Ugh....."

"This is what Miss Joy secretly told me~~~"

Aoi behaved mysteriously when she spoke, as if she was recounting an ulterior secret.

To tell the truth.

I don't even know how to respond.What excited her, shocked her, and surprised her.

Divination.

"That is to say, I didn't expect that such a great miracle of divination would exist in this era."

"is that so...."

"Of course it is. This is a super powerful ability."

"Um... I'm sorry to bother you when you're so excited. I don't know what you thought about divination at that time, but the so-called divination in this era is all a lie."

I said a little bluntly.

After all... in this society where electrical appliances are rampant, we still talk about divination.

This is not something that can be easily summed up by telling a joke.

Thousands of years ago, people may have been obsessed with the concept of divination, but with the evolution of the times, divination has become an old story to modern people.

And for Aoi from a thousand years ago, this was probably an event that was incomprehensible.After all, it wasn't just her body that time took away from her.

"deceptive trick"

"Well, it's a pity that most divination is a scam."

When Aoi heard me describe it like this, she lost her strength like a dead flower.

"...deceptive trick"

"Yeah, but don't worry, I already have some clues about Ibrahimovic."

Just use Miss Ji's trace recognition technology to lock the Eevee who is captured by the Rockets, and you can use the positioning system to track the movement of that guy, and release him even if he is captured by the Rockets.Thinking of this, I comforted Aoi while getting up to leave the Pokémon Center.

Also at this time.

"This can't be treated as if you didn't hear it."

"Um"

While Aoi and I were talking, someone intervened like this.

"What's the problem?"

"Brother, you just said that divination is a lie, right? Can you please take it back?"

"take back"

After I asked in confusion, I looked at the girl who suddenly spoke to us from the beginning.

The girl is standing behind us.

She has long hair tied in a ponytail and reaches her waist. She is taller than me, probably a little taller than the average height of girls. But these are not the point. The point is what she wears. The girl's clothes are quite strange, and the style is quite antique. , how should I put it? She is wearing a pure white Japanese-style miko outfit, and it is also decorated with many strange parts. At first glance, she looks like a middle school girl from some cosplay venue.

"Brother, please don't look at me like you're serious about your outfit."

“…”

Can this be seen?

"Sorry." qiushuzhai.qiushuzhai.

I muttered and turned my attention to her face.

Although the clothes are a bit weird, the girl has a decent appearance and her slender eyes reveal a graceful and elegant temperament. In one sentence, she should be described as a lady.

"Excuse me, are you..."

At this time, Aoi finally came to her senses and asked the unknown girl.

"This is our first time meeting you. I just shocked you. My name is Mingli, and I am a fortune teller~~"

This girl named Mingli turned her gaze towards me intentionally.

She must have listened to what I just said word for word.

Oops...that's a little embarrassing.Who would have thought there was a fortune teller around here.

"My name is Aoi, and his is Ye Feng."

"Hello."

I nodded in good faith.

"Ah."

Mingli nodded and then continued:

"It sounds like you are having some difficulty just now. Maybe I can help you~~"

"Really? That's great. We just talked about the fortune teller again~~"

Aoi's depressed mood was ignited again, but I seemed even more confused, or rather started to be wary of the girl in front of me.

The fortune teller really threw delicious food at Aoi.Aoi basically... no, it should be said that girls basically like these vague but fateful statements. In addition, Aoi's own thinking about divination does not keep pace with the times. It is easy to fall into the trap of divination. middle.

"excuse me, I...."

"Don't be in a hurry to reject me~~"

Directly interrupting my refusal, the divination girl Mingli waved her hand and continued:

"I know little brother, you are not convinced by divination."

"No, it can't be said to be a question of belief or not..."

In fact, I really don't believe it. I really prefer things that are clear and black to those that are vague.

But... think about it carefully, when you were in Manjin City, you met Nazi, who could predict the future.

I'm a little conflicted about my current mood.

Why did I deny it when I clearly knew this? To be honest, I didn't have the confidence to express what I wanted to say very well. In short, the attitude of the girl in front of me or the mental state would make people think this way.

To put it bluntly, the girl in front of me is not special. Although she looks like a first-class product from the outside, she always feels that something is missing for some reason.

atmosphere.

In strong contrast, the mental pressure that Nazi gives people and the relief and comfort that she gives are very extreme. So if I want to evaluate, Nazi's super power is more fascinating.

"Oh~~Is that so? So, little brother, you believe in divination?"

"If it comes to a question of belief or disbelief, I choose to believe in the existence of divination."

"Yeah...that's it, that's it, I understand."

Mingli nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, brother, don't you believe me?"

"....No..."

I quickly denied it, but there was no way to refute it.

In panic, I started to say randomly:

"Speaking of which, as far as I'm concerned, diviners base their fortune-telling on people's behavioral patterns. In addition, some diviners have excellent personal ability to speculate on objects."

I am somewhat aware of absolute supernatural manifestations, but I also do not believe that people with superpowers can roam the streets.

"In other words, take advantage of the ability of cold reading."

"Cold reading"

It was Aoi who asked the question. She didn't understand the meaning of cold reading.

"To put it bluntly, it means that you can read the other person's heart without any preparation in advance."
